don't usually buy games day one these day, but may make the exception for this one. they're doing everything right.

single player
co-op

future maps and modes are going to be free
and it's star wars!

what more could you want?

At least on the surface of things they are. Hopefully the game ships and it's polished enough and has a compelling single player campaign with a certain degree of variety to it. DICE have a habit of half arsing their single player campaigns. But yeah, the check list is very reminiscent of how games used to be.

Hey, it even comes with the very consumer-friendly loot boxes with randomly generated rewards available through micro-transactions! What could possibly go wrong? ;)

Those things that people cry about in Overwatch even though you get skins for free and it provides the basis for great post-launch support Not a whole lot, really. If people want to spend money on nothing so that I get free content, more power to them.

"Unlike its predecessor, Battlefront 2 has randomised crates of Star Cards that offer gameplay-affecting power-ups. These can give you more health, power up weapons, boost damage or grant other special abilities - such as a healing effect for nearby allies."
